Library Beauty Queens

For those of you who were unable to catch the Wearable Art Show this weekend, let me assure you that you missed quite the spectacle. Kathy Graham - from the UAS library - outdid herself in designing 3 of the most fabulous gowns ever to come out of the Closed Reserve stacks! The title of the piece was "I Want to be a Librarian", and the three librarian beauty queens were:Miss Directed (Judith McQuerry) - who wore a lovely pleated skirt made of discarded nautical chartsMis Printed (Lisa Pearson) - who wore an overdress of hardback book covers with a lovely long trainMiss Shelved (Kathleen Wiechelman) - whose ruched dress and ruffle were made entirely of government document envelopesI rarely get to sashay in front of a cheering crowd, so this was a total blast. Thank you, Kathy, for making my dreams of glamour and adoration possible....
